Mayo and Miss Emma Miller, of Heller’s Corner, Allen county, were visit ing relatives here over Sunday. On Monday Emanuel Heche, while climbing upon the roof of Devi Heller’s barn to saw off the comb, he slipped down the descent of the roof falling to the ground where he laid helpless for about one hour. It was found that he was badly bruised and as yet has no use of his lower limbs. * ’ John Flory and Frank Helldr who have been working at Anderson for some time were at home over Sunday. They returned again the first of the week accompanied by Emanuel Renee, Wm. Schlagenhauf and George Adler, Jr, who in addition to George Wechter and Albert Musser are a large tactor in building up that city of the future. We note the following changes in real estate during the week: John Zimmerman fifty-eight acres to Peter Schmitt for $3,000; Christian G. Augsberger to John acres for $2,100; the Peter Sbhindler estate to Christian G. Augsberger eighty acres for $2,500. Mr. Schmitt having just lately arrived from the German empire. William Judd, a prominent Republican of Hartford township, preferred a charge to W. H. Shephered against Mark McConnell, our worthy sheriff, the count was that Mark was working in the interest of the Republican party which somewhat raised the ire of Mr. Shepherd, who asked for an explanation, and was given as a reason that Mr. Sheriff had taken some negroes to board thereby swelling the yote of the Republican party. However, id this matter we prefer that the public draw their own conclusion. The parttiion walls (which are of brick) of the basement for our public building are being laid this week, and the stone work of the foundation is nearly completed. The stone that the builder refused is also verified in the land around and about Monroe, we are familiar with the incidents where these lands were rejected and the uplands or white oak ridges were chosen instead, when now, since our si stem of drainage has been put into execution, 4he rejected in eariler day is now land whose soil is inexhaustible ponds, thickets and low, wet lands, have given way to beautiful and improved farms. We heartily congratulate those who are so fortunate as to be a possessor of a home about the county’s center. Rheumatism Can be Lured. Although it has baffled our best physicians, it car be permanently cured by the proper use of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, which cleanses the blood of all poisonous matter and induces a healthy action of the kidneys and liver.

f armers’ Institute. The third in»t tute of the farmers wa.ie’d in Hocker’s hall at Monroe last Sat irday. The day was a very urpitasant tie. and the fori no-n session wasattindio >ut by a few people, but in the sfternoot■he attendance was very large. The pto- .> e i f Monroe and of the iownsl ip ,hae. liannid lor a rousing big meeting and had cne weather been fair there would no loubt f ave been an immense outpouring jf tne farmers of Adams county. These 1 ,s i ule.' are gaining in favor every day. rod they rhouid be attended by every far-mer.-1 he .meetings are interes'ing and are of much benefit to the farmer. You xcha: gc vour views on tne various topics under discus-ion. Allh argh at this meeting the program »va® nut rully carried out, a< many who ha-i been ussigsed topics to discuss were not able to be present, yet others were on h uid ready to discuss what was most ad vantageous to the farmer. The session op .’tied up with J. T. W. Luckey, president of the institute in the chair, and Duke Stoops, of the Decatur democrat, as secretary protem. Mr. Luckey stated the object of the meeting Alter which Rev. Foster offered prayer. Die minutes of the previous meeting were approved. G. H. Laughery, of Monroe, in a fewwell chosen remarks welcomed the far mers of Adams county to the city and to their homes. He spoke of the farmers’ calling as an honorable one, and one in which the farmers should’take a just pride in, and help to build up, and is a also great help in the upbuilding of other great industries, and that the farmers and all other branches of industry should work together. He said that all other classes have held institutes to educate and further their interests, and why not the farmers. The institutes are a good thing to school the young in and is a noble and grand cause. In response to the welcome address President Luckey, said: “The time has arrived when the agriculturist, whether he be farmer, gardner, florist, vineyardist or horticulturist, if he wishes to make a profit on his work, has to be alive to all the improvements connected with his calling, to know how his crops grow, the proper soil to cultivate, the actions and influences of the elements of his crops, and how to cultivate and teed them with plant food so as to produce the greatest results with the least labor and expense. In no other way can he hope for success. 0 The successful merchant knows how his merchandise is produced, how it is handled in the different stages of manufacturing and how to market it for the greatest profit The agriculturist by his work on the land, has not only to feed and clothe himself, but he has also to furnish rawmaterial and sustenance tor his merchant friend, and for all other living things God has put on the earth. Therefore, it will not do to go on in old ruts. The world is progressive, it wants more now than in olden times and one might as well be out of the world as behind the times; hence we have Agricultural Journals, Experiment Stations, but best of all Farmers’ Institutes dotted in every county in this and our sister states. Much has already been said and written upon the literature afforded dwellers upon the farm, a general impression seeming to prevail that to interest the farmer all he reads must be in some way connected with agriculture. This is all a mistate. No one expects the lumber dealer to read of nothing but the price of timber, nor a dry Ms merchant to listen to nothing but thp rpnn * the cotton cro P> but it; is Uni * versahy conce "“ d that both are interested In the events of the w?" 10 branch and department. ma \ . attract the farmer also. He wishes post himself on the tariff question that he may know why the iron and steal composing implements he uses cost more one year than another; that he may keep himself well informed upon trades unions and the great labor questions; that he may know why immigration decreases this year instead of increasing—there are a thousand subjects that laboring- men of the city understand, and upon which they can deliver an opinion based upon reasonable grounds—but of none of these has the farmer heard f rom the majority of agricultural papers—they are wholly devoted to matters pertaining to the farm. Farmers Institutes educates the farmer; shows him the beauty of knowledge, the power of intellect. A ten year-old country boy recognizes in a single bout the advantage skill has over mere physical strength, and appreciates his opponent’s acquired skill accordingly. Once let that boy realize that all his life is in one sense a bout with fortune and he will see the advantage of education —will feel tha&to his natural talent and shrewdness mus,t be added the skill whicn results from intellectual effort, if he would excel his neighbor, It is only by scraping oft' the rust that the bright steel is revealed—so must the ideas of the past be scraped from the mind of the new generation and the glittering steel beneath shine tor.h to advantage. Yes, in response I welcome you all in this institute as happily as we have been welcomed here but education must be the watchword, not only mere education of the higher intellectual powers, but education of the hand and of the body, a physical training that shall fit the mind to receive and assimilate the seeds that are sown upon it.” The parties to whom had been assigned the subject of “Sheep Raising” not being present, the subject was not discussed. Jacob Hart, of this city, then took up the subject of “Wheat Raising,” which he discussed in a very able manner. Mr. Hart made a very appropriate talk on the prosperous and the indigent farmer, and had there been any of the latter class there they would surely have understood just what he was telling. In speaking of the time to clean seed wheat Mr. Hart said that when the wheat was in bloom to go into the field and cut off the rye, cheat and all other abnoxious weeds, and he would insure clean grain. When you cut stack well and let it go through a thorough sweat before having it threshed as most wheat is spoiled by having it threshed before it goes through the sweat, and therefore spoils in the bin. Wheat should be cut just as soon as possible after it is out of the milk, and beginning to ripen- It will make better flour if cut under these conditions. Mr. Hart stated that he had never attempted to make a speech before in his life, and that he was now too old to commence, but the audience seemed to think different, and he talked for over an hoyr, giving the people a good many points on this subject. Again, Mr. Hart is quite a jolly old fellow and can tell good stories with the rest of them. His story of tt e bumble-jar brought down the house. Henry Krick opened the discussion. He said he was not in favor of plowing his ground deep for wheat raising (not deep, level cultivation to raise stock, as Mister Ashcraft, of the Decatur yourna ’, has instructed the farmers of Adams county , tq do.) In black loam the ground should be ploughed shallow, so that the freezes of the winter will nOt raise the plant out of the ground. The ground should be well pulverized and put in first-class shape be fore sowing. After Mr. Krick had finished, a number of questions were asked in regard to cheat in wheat. This brought forth a lively discussion in which Mr. Hart, Henry Krick, William Reynolds, J. L. Aspy, William Jackson, Geo. Martz, J. T. W. Luckey and others took part. The dinner hour having arrived the institute/adjourned until one o’clock. The afternoon session opened with mu*ic by the Monroe bms band, The pro*

Call and be

•ram for the afternoon was net carried out as the persons assigned the work were not pri-Miiil, and Mr. J. W. McKean opened ch<- subject of “Grasses.” and asked the question of how 10 piepare clover hay. rt.e question b ought out quite a li t.-’t lifcussion between Henry Krick, Willi >m Remolds, V. D. Bell, William Jacks n md A. J. Shafer. The gravel road question then came up and vias discuss,d pro and con, but tat pros seeihr d to have the best of the argu rnent These taking part in the discus ston were Mr. B at’ey, Mr. Matiri, Isaac Brown. Duke Stoops, George Martz, J L. Aspy, Henry Krick, G. W. Gladden, Peter Baker and Wil.iam Jackson. This concluded the afternoon’s work and after extending a vote of thanks to Mr, Hocker, the Monroe band and to the citizens in general, the institute adjourned, to me<-t again at Monroe, Saturday, August 2 2d. / Although the weather was bad the institute was a success. ■ A program for the next meeting was arranged and the following committee of arrangements were selected: Geo. H. Martz and Mrs. C. W. Hocker, Monroe; V. D. Bell, French township, and Wm. Jackson, St. Marys township. Monroe Iterris. Monroe is noted for its sidewalks, grass and dog fennel during the summer. Last Sunday morning pools of human blood could be seen in the streets of Monroe. Result of a regular jamboree. Deputy Sheriff Erwin arrested two pugilists of Monroe last They gave bond of one hundred dollars each for their appearance at court. Harlo Mann, of course, is not a farmer, but to hear him tell about farming is a caution. He is a prospective candidate for the position of chief muciau at the next farmers’ institute. All those knowing themselves indebted to V. B. Simcoke would confer a great favor by calling at his place of business and settle their small accounts and save oests, for he is bound to settle up or burn the books. Miss Walters, of Decatur, commenced a two months subscription school in Monroe on Monday of last week. A very needful thing this. Miss Walters comes highly recommended as a student,'StTdxwe hope she will succeed in her first effort.x. The ladies of the Methodist persuasion of Monroe, have had the church beautifully papered, a new porch built in front, and now if the pews were well-cushioned it would be rather pleasnt to while away an hour or two each Sunday very comfortably. Now is the time to susberibe for your county paper, and read the news from all parts of the county, concerning the prospective good crops, the deaths, marriages, fights, murders, all the meanness and goodness of our county. It’s interesting and worth money. Don’t fail to post yourselves. The farmers’ meeting held here last Saturday was a success, notwithstanding the raip and bad roads. We believe the farmers are beginning to think that they are the head and shoulders of this country instead of the tail end. It’s time they get a move on them for they are the governors that can stop the machinery or make it move. A short time ago a bum came to Monroe and asked someone if the berg was incorporated, whether the citizens were law abiding on Sunday or any other day, he was told we pretended to be, but the bum proceeded to business, got drunk, of course the big kids caught on to the racket, and they at once set up a fusilade, nutting t**e b" vri in defense of his writhing body, but 10, a? d behold! Oliver Wurst took the bum to be a bag, and concluded he might Just as well become a Sullivan as not, and with a jump ana? yell he thumped the imaginative sand bag one or two on the upper end, enough to put life in the sand bag which took a sneak, leaving Oliver alone to replenish the school fund to the amount of two dollars and costs. Merit Wins. We desire to say to our ettizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, Dr. King’s New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. Sold by A. R. Pierce, druggist. Pleasant Mills items. The sick are improving. W. J. Cowan’s school closes June 13th. Grant Roebuck and sister, Flora, spent a few days last week at St. Marys, Ohio, visiting relatives. Austin Acker, the huckster is a hustler. You would judge so by the loads of poul try he brings in every day. The Sanctification Brethren performed the ordinance of baptism at this place last Monday forenoon. Three more saints added to the fold, and still the good wori goes on. Thompson Roebuck, while returning home from Willshire, Ohio, Wednesday of last week, had a runaway, his horse became frightened at something along the roadside but fortunately he escaped without an injury, but his buggy was somewhat demolished. The reporter at this place, one day last week called on G. W. Archbold, formerly of this place, but now located at Murray, Ind., and finds him engaged in the mercantile business, and getting along well in his new home. Success to him and family is our best wishes. The question has been asked. Why it is that so many of our Republican friends want to borrow the Decatur Democrat of their neighbors ? We answer, it is because they are prejudiced and do not want to subscribe for the best paper published in the county, and the only paper that gives the correct news. As it has been sometime since we have said anything about our town and its busness places, we will try and give yqu a little description of it. Pleasant Mills is a station six miles east of the flourishing city of Decatur, on the Clover Leaf. It can .boast of having two general stores, one saw mill, one tile mill, one blacksmith shop, and one shoe shop, one grist mill, chair factories and quite a number of fine dwelling houses, with no saloon, which speaks well for the place. The people here are temperate and religious. Mlles* Nerve and Liver Pills Act on a new principle—regulating the liver, stomach and bowels through the nerves. A new discovery.

Charles Wittwer, an aged and respected a few miles north of this place, came to town on last Monday and drew a large amount of money, being the amount he 1 eceived for the sale of a farm and taking the money home with him. When the family arose on Wednesday morning, they found that some one had been in the house during the night, and robbed them of five hundred dollars and Mr. Wittwer’s watch. While in town some 01 the business men asked him if he did not think that amount of money was too large an amount to carry about him, but he said he would use it in a few days, and that he could easily care tor it that long. It is supposed that someone here that knew of him having the money are the guilty parties. Consumption Surely Cured.
